DRYING-HANGER. v

To all whom it'may concern:

-Be. it known that I, Crmnnns lnnnnrox SCHILD, a citizen of the UnitedStates, and a resident of Cambridge, in the county of Guernsey and Stateof Ohio, have invented a new and Improved Drying-Han er, of which thefollowingis a full, clear, anr exact description' This invention relatestojlmprovements 1n hangers orbrackets adaptedto be attached to a walladjacent to a range,

or at any other convenient lace, and upon which, towels or similar articesmay be suspended for drying.

The object of the invention is to provide a device of this characterthat will be simple and inexpensive in construction; that may be drawnout or elongated as occasion'may re-- ,quire, and that maybe turned toany desired position.

'my'invention and then point out the nove I-will describe adrying hangerembodying features in the appended claim.

Reference-is to be. had to the accompanying drawings forming a part ofthis specifica-' tion, in which similar, characters of'refe'rence Figure1 1s a side elevation 0 indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.i

' is a section on the ine a;-'a: otFig, 1'.-

The drying hanger comprises a swinging, member consisting of two spacedplates 1, 2',

' each being provided with a longitudinal slot j 3. The inner ends ofthe plates 1 and2 have end of said pin I the socket members thereforecome worn. L

inwardly extended portions-4' from which flanges '5 project, and securedbetween the mounted to-swing in a socket member 7 secured betweenvertical plates 8 which are stationarily fixed to awall' or the like, byscrews or other suitable means. At the upper portion'of the plate 8 isanother socket member 9 for'receiving a pin 10, the upper IO-beingturned slightly downward and t eaded to engage with one end of aturn-buckle 11', the other end of said turnbuckle engaging with'athreaded stem portion lower ends res ectively to the plates 1 and 2. Bymeans of t e turn-buckle t e plates may extended pin 6 Specification ofLetters Patent;v

The hanger proper comprises a plurality of i 3 crossedpivotally-connected bars; the-inner end bars 13 are pivoted at theiradjacent ends .to a pin ,14 which passes'through the flanges 5 and theouter ends are pivotally connected to cross-bars 15, the centers of saidcross-bars 15 bein mounted to swing on a pivot 16 the ends 0 which passoutward andare adapted to slide in the slots 3 formed in thefplates 1and 2; the said pivot 16 is headed as clearly shown in Fig. 2 andbetween the inner sides of the plates and the said bars 15, sleeves 1.7are mounted on the pivot, which will prevent lateral movements of thebars with relation to the plates. Oarriedby the bars 15 is a pluralityof crossed pivotally connected bars 18 which are practically in the formof toggle links and on these bars 18 are hooks 19 for suspendingarticles to be dried. For the purpose of iv,

ing strength to the several bars outwar of the bars 13 they may be madeof angle-iron.

By pivotally vconnecting the bars as above described, it is obvious thatthey may be 'drawn out to any desired length, and by mounting the plates1 and 2 the whole device rnay-ibe swung to any desired position and infact may be swung closely against the wall when not in use, and when not1n use the several bars may be. moved into-a position between the plates1 and ,2. Having thus describ d claim as new and desire to secure-byLetters Patent-2'- A'drying hanger, comprising spaced plateslongitudinallyslotted and mounted to'swing,
